    MKIDs for optical, infrared, and millimeter wave telescopes
    Oral Contribution
    Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID) are now routinely used in ground-based telescopes. Large arrays, deployed in formats up to kilopixels, exhibit state-of-the-art performance at millimeter (e.g. 120-300 GHz, NIKA and NIKA2 on the IRAM 30-meters) and sub-millimeter (e.g. 350-850 GHz AMKID on APEX) wavelengths. In view of future utilizations above the atmosphere, we have studied in detail the...

  2. 12. Study of Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors made of Crystalline Niobium
    Dr Agnes Dominjon (NAOJ)

    Physical effects in superconducting microresonators
    Oral Contribution
    During these last decades, MKIDs have been increasingly used in the field of astrophysics. These superconductive coplanar waveguide resonators continue to be developed to improve their sensitivity to radiation from submillimetre to X-ray wavelengths. The Advanced Technology Centre of NAOJ is developing MKIDs for astronomical observations such as CMB B-mode search. One of the parameters that...

  3. 5. Responsivity and electrothermal feedback in Kinetic Inductance Detectors
    Mr Tejas Guruswamy (University of Cambridge)

    Physical effects in superconducting microresonators
    Oral Contribution
    We review and present simulations of our complete (large-signal, small-signal, and noise) electrothermal model of Kinetic Inductance Detectors [1]. Our geometry-independent model includes both the behaviour of the microwave resonator as well as the heat capacities of and thermal conductances between the superconductor quasiparticles, superconductor phonons, substrate phonons, and thermal bath....
